do you remember what i told you last time?

have you been doing well since i saw you?

that's not what you told me back then.

when was the last time i saw you?

you were shorter then.

i'm picking the restaurant this time.

we've known each other since we were children.

always knew i could count on you.

that time was different. this is worse.

you're not going to let me live that down, are you?

i seem to remember a conversation we had back then.

so you changed your mind about it?

do you remember our encounter in paris?

you should know me by now.

am i the only one that knows the truth?

we had a lot of help back then.

your mom told me to look out for you.

you just love bringing that back up to annoy me.

maybe don't mention my past indescretions?

this was never going to work out between us.

i told you not to get attached.

i know more about you than you think.

i was there, remember?

i'm not about to forget all the shit you put me through.

you told me you were going to try and make this work.

remember what i said to you?

the last time i saw you, things were good between us.

you never mentioned this before.

that was the longest flight of my life, and you made it worse.

can i still trust you after all that?

at least we tried to make something work.

we never discussed what happened between us.

okay, but i'm driving the car this time.

i haven't forgotten what you said last week.

i'm still thinking about your comment.

i didn't realize it was you when i first saw you.

you seem to make a lot of enemies around here.

there's not much for us to talk about.

we worked it out last time.

i know you far better than you know yourself.

we have a long history.

is that the shirt you were wearing last time?

what don't i know about you?

i haven't told them about us.

you were the only person i could go to.

you know me.

this is bigger than both of us.

i can't stand your driving.

are you taking me to the place we had dinner last time?

that's not at all what you said.

didn't we agree on that?

i thought i made it very clear where i stand.

are these the same people that came after you last time?

are you still going on about it?

can we talk about it?

staying silent about it won't help.

you're the only person who knows the real me.

you came back.

of course i came back. i couldn't let them... oh, this is all my fault.

if only i had gotten here sooner.

maybe it's better this way.

don't talk like that. you'll be all right. we're together now. everything's going to be fine, you'll see.

at least i got to see you... one last time.

no! no! please, please don't leave me! i love you.

i want to do something for her, but what?

there's the usual things. flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep...

it has to be something very special. something that sparks her interest.

wait a minute!

isn't this amazing?

i'm afraid i've been thinking.

she's never looked at me that way before.

how can you read this? there's no pictures!

some people use their imagination.

i want adventure in the great wide somewhere.

i want so much more than they've got planned.

that hurts!

if you hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much.

if you hadn't run away, this wouldn't have happened.

if you hadn't frightened me, i wouldn't have run away.

you should learn to control your temper.

hold still. this might sting a little.

by the way, thank you for saving my life.

how could you do that?

i had to.

now we invite you to relax.

this is the day your dreams come true.

what do you know about my dreams?

imagine that.

i'm speechless. i really don't know what to say.

say you'll marry me.

i just don't deserve you.

if it's not baroque, don't fix it.

i thought i told you to come down to dinner.

please, attempt to be a gentleman.

will you come down for dinner?

you can't stay in there forever!

that didn't go very well at all, did it?

it's no use. she's so beautiful, and i'm... well, look at me!

try to act like a gentleman.

if i didn't know better, i'd think you had feelings for this monster.

he's no monster, [name], you are!

who said anything about the castle being enchanted?

who are you? what are you doing here?

you are not welcome here!

what are you staring at?

shower her with compliments!

i've been burnt by you before.

close that at once!

i was trying to be hospitable.

there may be something there that wasn't there before.

i'll tell you when you're older.

may i have my book, please?

don't talk about my father that way!

i'll show you to your room.

you might want to offer her a more comfortable room.

why did you come here?

i warned you never to come here!

do you realize what you could've done?

is anyone here?

your hands are like ice. we have to get you out of here.

i want you to leave this place.

who's done this to you?

no time to explain. you must go! now!

you must promise to stay here forever.

come on out and fight!

were you in love with her? did you honestly think she'd want you, when she had someone like me?

why don't you read it to me?

the castle is under attack!

we must do something!

you always say that.

did you have a good time in town today?

it's just that i'm not sure i'd fit in here. there's no one i can really talk to.

you did it! you really did it!

the castle is your home now, so you can go anywhere you'd like.

there's a stranger here.

will no one help me?

you will join me for dinner. that's not a request!

now we're getting somewhere!

time for me to use science.

i'm hungry.

what's your name?

are all russians crazy?

when stupid ideas work, they become genius ideas.

do you believe in god?

i know it's a personal question.

it's like he's inviting us to explore the universe.

if i had a nickel for every time i wanted to smack a kid's parents for not teaching them even the most basic things... well... i'd have enough nickels to put in a sock and smack those parents with it.

this is happy!

your face opening is in sad mode.

we're pretty untrustworthy, but i don't want him to know that.

i'm smart enough to know that i'm stupid. that's progress.

you poked it with a stick?

it was a scientific poke with a very scientific stick.

work fast.

first i have to wait for my computer to wake up.

fist my bump.

usually you're not stupid.

once again, i'm struck by melancholy.

i have to save humanity first. stupid humanity. getting in the way of my hobbies.

oh thank god. i can't imagine explaining sleep to someone who had never heard of it.

if i can't do it for a while, i go insane and eventually die.

no need for concern.

we're as smart as evolution made us.

we're the minimum intelligence needed to ensure we can dominate our planet.

i spend a lot of time un-suiciding this suicide mission.

that's not creepy at all.

wait a minute! am i a guinea pig?

it's not like that.

no. you cannot die. you are my friend.

be careful.

i don't want to look dumb in front of the aliens.

math is not thinking. math is procedure.

at least i'm not alone.

aaaaand they're dead.

you get to watch your food cook without melting your face off.

the hardest part about working with aliens and saving humanity from extinction is constantly having to come up with names for stuff.

you are here!

you saved me!

set up the damn tunnel!

get back in your ship!

it gives me a feeling of control.

i'm on a suicide mission.

yes. there'll be wars.

see how easy it is?

all i have to do is tell you something you don't want to hear.

it's the kids of today that'll have to make the world of tomorrow work.

when you're stupid tired, accept that you're stupid tired. don't try to solve things right then.

want to meet up in the bathroom down the hall and have sex?

let's see what we can do when we really set our minds to it.

you want me to observe you sleep?

you're a coward and you always have been!

i thought i told you to stay back.

i love you too much to let you get hurt like this.

this affects me, too, you know.

every time you leave, i sit up all night waiting, praying you'll come back alive.

you keep pulling stunts like this and something bad will happen.

do you have a death wish or something?

this isn't fair to me.

i deserve better than this.

i didn't get any sleep last night because i was so worried about you.

you promised me you'd stop going out at night.

i don't like hearing this.

you've been risking your life, and for what? so you can feel like a goddamn hero?

i said i would handle it.

what the fuck are you doing here?

you told me you'd stay put.

so much for laying low.

you remember how bad it was last time.

seems like you haven't learned anything.

i believe you promised me you'd lay low.

i can't keep doing this.

don't give me that look.

we'll discuss this later.

this stops now.

i'm tired of picking up the pieces once you've left.

you keep throwing yourself into danger.

you don't give a shit about yourself, do you?

i'm sitting here, worried out of my mind, while you're out doing god knows what.

that was really stupid of you, and you know it.

i thought you knew better than this.

what's your excuse this time?

you do realize what this does to me, right? seeing you get hurt like this? you know it hurts me, too?

you really don't give a shit how this affects me, huh.

that was the dumbest possible thing you could have done.

i need you to stop throwing yourself into harm's way.

that was completely unnecessary.

they had it handled.

you didn't need to step in like that.

why do you think you're invincible?

the last time you pulled a stunt like this, it nearly got you killed.

i can't just sit here and watch you get hurt.

what are you trying to prove?

you just like fucking with my heart, don't you.

this shit hurts me, too, you know.

you're not the only one affected by this shit.

you've got a lot of people counting on you to come home every night.

what happens if you don't come back?

you think we can just carry on without you?

you think i can handle things if you end up dead?

i'm not sticking around to watch you get hurt.

you're not even slick.

you think you're invincible, don't you.

quit pretending you've got everything under control.

let someone else do it for a change.

you can't keep putting yourself through shit like this and expect me to just sit back and watch.

i'm done with this.

next time you do this, i'm not coming back.

promise me this is the end.

look me in the eyes and tell me you'll stop doing this.

let the authorities deal with it.

you're making a big mistake.

is it worth dying for?
